percent is:

A 10% loss

Explanation:
Let the cost price of the article =100Rs.

Now, as per the question, marked price of the goods = 140

140 × 75
Now, price of the article after 25% discount 100 = 3 × 35 = 105

ABCD is a trapezium in which AB ∥ DC and its diagonals intersect at P. If AP = (3x-1) cm, PC = (5x-3) cm, BP = (2x+1) cm and PD =
(6x-5) cm, then the length of DB is:

A 14 cm

B 12 cm

C 16 cm

D 10 cm

Answer: B

Explanation:
Given that,

ABCD is a trapezium, in which AB ∥ DC and its diagonals intersect at P.

AP = (3x-1) cm, PC = (5x-3) cm, BP = (2x+1) cm and PD= (6x-5) cm

Downloaded from cracku.in

We know that the diagonals of the trapezium is always intersect in the same ratio.
AP PB
So, PC = PD

Now, substituting the values,

3x − 1
5x − 3 = 2x + 16x − 5

(3x − 1)(6x − 5) = (2x + 1)(5x − 3)

18x2 − 15x − 6x + 5 = 10x2 − 6x + 5x − 3

18x2 − 21x + 5 = 10x2 − x − 3

18x2 − 10x2 − 21x + x + 5 + 3

8x2 − 20x + 8 = 0

2x2 − 5x + 2 = 0

2x2 − 4x − x + 2 = 0

2x(x − 2) − 1(x − 2) = 0

(x − 2)(x − 1) = 0

x=1 or x=2

So, length of DB= BP+PD=2x+1+6x-5=8x-4

Hence DB=4 cm or 12 cm

Question 61

If the 8-digit number 2074x4y2 is divisible by 88, then the value of (4x + 3y) is:

A 36

B 42

C 45

D 49

Answer: C

Explanation:
Given that 2074x4y2 is divisible by 88,

This will be divisible by 88 if, it is individually divisible by 11 and 8.

Downloaded from cracku.in

Divisibility by - Any number is divisible by 8, if the last 3 digit of that number is divisible by 8.

4y2 it will be divisible by 8 if, y=3 or y=7

Divisibility by 11- Any number is divisible by 11 if the difference between the sum of odd place digit and sum of even place digit is
divisible by 11.

2+4+4+0−x−y−7−2 = 1−x−y
Now y=3 then x=9

if y=7 then x=5

Now, substituting the values in the equation,

if x=9 and y=3 then (4x + 3y) = 4 × 9 + 3 × 3 = 36 + 9 = 45

if x=5 and y=7 then (4x + 3y) = 4 × 5 + 3 × 7 = 20 + 21 = 41
Question 62

If 12 cot2 θ − 31 cosec θ + 32 = 0, 0∘ < θ < 90∘ , then the value of tan θ will be:

4 4
A 5, 3

4 3 7
B 3, 7

5 4
C 4, 3

4 5 7
D 5, 7

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the given question,

12 cot2 θ − 31 cosec θ + 32 = 0, 0∘ < θ < 90∘

12(cosec2 θ − 1) − 31 cosec θ + 32 = 0
12 cosec2 θ − 31 cosec θ + 20 = 0
Let cosec θ =x
12x2 − 31x + 20 = 0
12x2 − 15x − 16x + 20 = 0
3x(4x − 5) − 4(4x − 5) = 0
(4x − 5)(3x − 4) = 0
5 4
So, x = 4 or x = 3
4 3
So, sin θ = 5 or sin θ = 4

4 3
Hence, tan θ = 3 or tan θ = 7

4 3 7
tan θ = 3 or tan θ = 7

Question 63

The income of A is 50% more than that of B. If the income of A is increased by 40% and the income of B is increased by 90%, then the
percentage increase in their combined income will be:

Downloaded from cracku.in

A 64

B 60

C 55

D 70

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the condition given in the question,

Let the income of B is = x

150 × x
So, the income of A 100 = 1.5x
140 × (1.5x)
A's income increased by 40%, so new income = 100 = 2.1x
190x
B's income increased by 90%, so new income = 100 = 1.9x

So, combined income after increase = 1.9x + 2.1x = 4x

And combined income before increase = x + 1.5x = 2.5x
(4x − 2.5x) × 100 1.5x × 100
Hence, percentage of increased salary 2.5x = 2.5x = 60%

Question 64

The average production of type D cars in 5 years is what percent less than the production of type E cars in 2018? (Correct to one
decimal place)

A 17.4

B 15.9

C 18.6

D 16.8

Answer: C

Explanation:
As per the given given data in the question,

46 + 50 + 54 + 67 + 68
Downloaded from cracku.in
 46 + 50 + 54 + 67 + 68
The average production of type D car 5 = 57 thousand

Production of type E car in 2018 = 70

(70 − 57) × 100 13 × 100
Hence the required percentage = 70 = 70 = 18.6%

Question 65

What is the ratio of the total production of type C cars in 2015 and type D cars in 2017 taken together to the total production of type B
cars in 2016 and type A cars in 2017 taken together?

A 4:3

B 13:10

C 11:9

D 12:11

Answer: A

Explanation:
As per the given data in the question,

Total production of type C car in 2015=53

Total production of type D car in 2017=67

Hence total produce of the car of type C and D in the required year = 53 + 67 = 120
Total production of type B car in 2016 =47

Total production of type A car in 2017 =43

Hence total produce of the car of type A and B in the required year = 47 + 43 = 90
120 4
Hence, the required ratio = 90 = 3

Question 66

When x is subtracted from each of 21, 22, 60 and 64, the numbers so obtained, in this order, are in proportion. What is the mean
proportional between (x + 1) and (7x + 8) ?

A 24

B 18

C 21

D 27

Answer: A

Explanation:
As per the question,
21 − x 60 − x
⇒ 22 − x = 64 − x

⇒ (21 − x)(64 − x) = (22 − x)(60 − x)

⇒ 21 × 64 − 64x − 21x + x2 = 22 × 60 − 22x − 60x + x2

2 2
Downloaded from cracku.in
⇒ 1344 − 85x + x2 = 1320 − 82x + x2
⇒ 85x − 82x = 1344 − 1320 = 24
⇒ 3x = 24
So, x =8
Now, substituting the values,

⇒ (x + 1) = 8 + 1 = 9 and(7x + 8) = 7 × 8 + 8 = 64
Hence, the required mean = 9 × 64 = 3 × 8 = 24

If (8x3 − 27y3 ) ÷ (2x—3y) = (Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 ), then the value of (2A + B - C) is:

A 4

Downloaded from cracku.in

B 5

C 3

D 6

Answer: B

Explanation:
Given that,

(8x3 − 27y3 ) ÷ (2x—3y) = (Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 )

But we know that,

a 3 − b3 = (a − b)(a 2 + b2 + ab)
(2x)3 − (3y)3
So, (8x3 − 27y3 ) ÷ (2x—3y) = 2x − 3y

(2x)3 − (3y)3 (2x − 3y)((2x)2 + (2y)2 + 2x × 3y

2x − 3y = 2x − 3y = 4x2 + 9y2 + 6xy

Now, 4x2 + 9y2 + 6xy = Ax2 + Cy2 + Bxy

Now, comparing both side,

A = 4, B = 6 and C = 9
Now, substituting the values in the equation,

(2A + B − C) = (2 × 4 + 6 − 9) = 5
Question 69

If ab + bc + ca = 8 and a 2 + b2 + c2 = 20, then possible value of 2 (a + b + c)[(a − b)2 + (b − c)2 + (c − a)2 ] is:

A 80

B 72

C 56

D 84

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the given question,

ab + bc + ca = 8 and a 2 + b2 + c2 = 20
We know that (a + b + c)2 = a 2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
Now substituting the values

(a + b + c)2 = 20 + 2 × 8 = 36

(a + b + c) = (36) = 6
1
Now, 2 (a + b + c)[(a − b)2 + (b − c)2 + (c − a)2 ]
1
⇒ 2 (a + b + c)[a 2 + b2 − 2ab + b2 + c2 − 2bc + c2 + a 2 − 2ac]
1
⇒ 2 (a + b + c)[2(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) − 2(ab + bc + ac)]
Now substituting the values

⇒ (a + b + c)[(a 2 + b2 + c2 ) − (ab + bc + ac)]

Question 70

The volume of a metallic cylindrical pipe is 7480 cm 3 . If its length is 1.4 m and its external radius is 9 cm, then its thickness (given
22
π= 7 ) is:

A 0.8 cm

B 1 cm

C 0.9 cm

D 1.2 cm

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the question,

The volume of the cylindrical pipe = π(R2 − r2 )h

R is the external radius of the pipe and r is the internal radius of the pipe.

So, 7480 = π(92 − r2 ) × 140

7480
⇒ 140 × pi = 92 − r2

⇒ r2 = 92 − 17 = 64cm
⇒ r = 8cm
Hence the thickness of the pipe=9-8=1cm

The total production of type B cars in all the five years is what percent more than the total production of type A, B and D cars in 2017?

A 32.2

B 57.3

C 47.5

D 49.5

Answer: C

Downloaded from cracku.in

Explanation:
As per the given table,

Total production of type B car in all the five years = 54 + 45 + 47 + 50 + 40 = 236 thousands
Total production of car of type A, B and D in 2017 = 43 + 50 + 67 = 160 thousands
236 − 160 76 × 100
Hence the required percentage = 160 = 160 = 47.5%

Question 72

A sum of ₹15,000 is lent at 16% p.a. compound interest. What is the difference between the compound interest for the second year
and the third year?

A ₹445.44

B ₹544

C ₹454.88

D ₹548

Answer: A

Explanation:
As per given question
R
A = P (1 + 100 )2
16
A1 = 15000(1 + 100 )2
16
Compound interest in the first year = 15000(1 + 100 ) = 116 × 150 = 17400

16
So, compound interest in 2nd year= A1 − P = 15000(1 + 100 )2 − 17400 = 20184 − 17400 = 2784---------(i)

Similarly
16
A2 = 15000(1 + 100 )3
16
So, compound interest in 3rd year = A2 − P = 15000(1 + 100 )3 − 20184 = 23413.44 − 20184 = 32.29.44-----------(ii)

From the equation (i) and (ii), the required difference

CI2 − CI1 = 3229.44 − 2784 = 445.44Rs.

 86
D

Answer: C

Explanation:
As per the question,
x1 + x2 + x3 ....x13
13 = 80

x1 + x2 + x3 ....x13 = 80 × 13------------(i)
As per the condition given in the question, average of first 5 number
x1 + x2 + x3 + x3 + x4 + x5
5 = 74.5

$$x_1+x_2+x_3+x_3+x_4+x_5}=74.5\times 5$$-----------(ii)

Given that, average of next six number

$$\dfrac{x_6+x_7....x_{10}}{5}=82.5$$

$$x_6+x_7....x_{10}=82.5\times 5$$-----------(iii)

Let the 12th number is x,

As per the condition given in the question,

So 11th number will be x+6 and 13th number will be x+6,

Now substitute in the equation (i)

$$x_1+x_2+x_3....x_{13}=80\times 13$$

$$74.5\times 5+82.5\times 5+x+6+x+x+6=80\times 13$$

$$372.5+412.5+x+6+x+x+6=1040$$

$$3x=1040-372.5-412.5-12=1040-797=243$$

$$x=\dfrac{243}{3}=81$$

So, 11th and 13th numbers will be $$x+6=81+6=87$$

Hence the average of 11th and 13th number $$=\dfrac{87+87}{2}=87$$

A $$55^\circ$$

B $$50^\circ$$

C $$30^\circ$$

Downloaded from cracku.in

 $$35^\circ$$
D

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the given question,

From the given diagram we can see that in triangle $$\triangle BAC$$ and $$\triangle BDC$$ both are on the same base and in the
same circle,

So, $$\angle BAC$$ =\angle BDC=30$$

Now, in $$\triangle BAC$$, BA=BC (given in the question)

So, $$\angle BAC=\angle BCA=30$$

Now, in $$\triangle BDC$$

$$\angle DBC +\angle BDC+\angle BCD=180$$

So, $$\angle BCD=180-70-30=80^\circ$$

Now, $$\angle BCD=80^\circ$$

So, $$\angle PCD=80-\angle PCB=80-30=50^\circ$$
